Very disappointing to see what little love the midwest/central states area (mo, ks, ia) received this yr. Gone from last yr are Donovan Ruddick, Brandon Espinosa. no Ben Sailor, Nate Bash or Jeremy Wyatt, guys who've been in last 2 yrs. No Mark Sterling, Steve Fender or Jaysin Strife. Wyatt, Sterling, and Fender are legitimately better than over half that list, at worst. This region is over looked every yr, hell, Dingo was IWA ms champ for over a yr during the last yrs (2008-2009)pwi period and he was omitted. Hard as it is to believe, there's good indy workers in other places besides the east and west coast.

Get in line, Anonymous. South Africa's wrestling scene is just as overlooked. Where's Tornado II, Jason Steele, Shaun Koen, Johnny Palazzio, Akilah, et al? They are also legitimately better than half this list.

I can assure you that we made every effort to include all areas in this year's list. If you take an objective evaluation of every name on the list, you'll see that the names that made the cut are all deserving competitors with solid credentials. If you feel a specific area was omitted, please check with your local promoters and talent to see if they submitted their information for consideration.

I concur with Anonymous 11:59AM, not as much representation in the midwest as there was last year - yes I encouraged people to send their info in and plugged the deadlines to get the stuff in. But I have to ask again - who were the last ones pushed out, call them bubble boys or whatnot that I guess would had been ranked #501-#510 so to speak?

OK, so Naruki Doi and KENTA, probably two of the 5 best wrestlers in the world today, aren't even in the Top 100? That is so very, very sad...Who decides this stuff, and have they ever watched Dragon Gate at all?
